Why Skip the Skillet?

Skillet grilled cheese is classic, but it can be a bit tricky to master — uneven heating, sticking bread, or burned edges are common problems. Plus, cleaning a greasy pan afterward is nobody’s favorite chore.

This alternative method offers:

  • Even crispiness on both sides

  • Perfectly melted cheese every time

  • Less mess and easier cleanup

  • A quick way to satisfy grilled cheese cravings

The Secret: The Oven or Toaster Oven Method

Instead of frying, you’ll use your oven or toaster oven to bake your grilled cheese to crispy perfection.

Here’s How to Do It:

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread

  • Butter or mayonnaise (yes, mayo adds amazing crisp!)

  • Cheese slices (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or your choice)

Steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Butter or spread mayo generously on one side of each bread slice.

  3. Assemble your sandwich with cheese between the unbuttered sides.

  4. Place the sandwich on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, buttered side up.

  5. Bake for about 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip the sandwich and bake another 6-8 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.

  6. Remove, let it cool slightly, and enjoy!
